Dear Emily, Life with you is so fun. Let’s just start with the noises you make. You discovered a few weeks ago how to scream. For about a week that was the primary noise you made whether you were excited, hungry, tired, or upset. Last Sunday you had so much fun yelling that Dad sat…

One Last Look
In the early morning hours I hear Emily lifting up her legs and slamming them back against her bed. The pack-n-play that she sleeps in is rattling around with each movement. Glancing over at the crib I see her legs straight up, her toes above the edge of the crib. I think she is growing…
